Adobe Reader X not detected by browser

I am running into an issue where I am trying to view a file online and once I click the link it routes me to the Adobe Downloads screen to download X even though I already have it installed? I have tried 3 different browsers and it's still doing the same thing? almost like it can't detect that it is installed......anyone run into this before?
Any feedback would be greatly appricated....thanks!!!

I actually have tried to view it in 3 different browsers ... FireFox, IE and Google Chrome still get the same message...
It is Adobe Reader X Version 10.1.2
OS is windows XP SP3
I'm tracking down the link....will post as soon as I find it in my email

Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

Yoh, what is FSCCommanr ? sorry man I am an absolute beginner in Flash. I tried the code:
/* Click to Go to Web Page
Clicking on the specified symbol instance loads the URL in a new browser window.
Instructions:
1. Replace http://www.adobe.com with the desired URL address.
Keep the quotation marks ("").
instance_name_here.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com"), "_blank");
this is the same code I used before and it opens a pdf file in a web browser, and it doesn't open an AutoCAD file.

Open Adobe Reader and not Acrobat in browser

I just installed the now freelaý available Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 and in my browers PDF files are now opened in that one.
But I intend to use it only for editing PDFs. Since it is not the newest version, I would for security reasons prefer to have Adobe Reader open PDFs in my browsers, since it will always be the newest version.
How can I keep Acrobat and still have the Reader open the files?
A plugin or some setting?

It IS now freely available FROM ADOBE: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/ , with serial number and all! And it was activated by Adobe after I installed it! No crack, no hack... (At least this is available in Europe, maybe not in the US?.)
But plesae advice how I can make Reader (latest version) open in the browser instead of Acrobat. There will surely be a way, such as, maybe, a change in the Registry,
In the Reader, there is an option Edit > Preferences > Internet, but it now points to Acrobat...
In Acrobat there is a similar option where I can mark "Display PDF in browser". It makes no difference if I mark or unmark it.
Normally, the Reader should have this option, too, but it has now been hijacked by Acrobat.
There must be a way, please tell me...

After completing my upgrade to Adobe Reader 11.0.10 When I attpemt to use "Tools/File/File Save As" from IE 11 I get a "Adobe Reader is not Responding" and my browser is locked up.

After completing my upgrade to Adobe Reader 11.0.10. when I attempt to save an online PDF to my local drive I receive a blank window where I would expect to see file directory structure to save to.
No local directories are displayed for "Saving To", it is all blank. When I try to Close (by clicking X) the "File Save As" box a message pops up on top that says "Adobe Reader is not Responding" It locks up all of my IE windows, not just the one with the PDF doc.
I then need to go Task Manager and stop the IE task. All my browser windows are then closed.
That is the only way to recover from the "Adobe Reader is Not Responding" message.
This was not happening in previous versions of Reader.
Tolls/File/File Save As always worked properly.
I have installed IE 11 (11.0.9600.17690)

Adobe Reader will not open PDF in browser simple answer.

I just had this problem and was able to work through it with the help of tech support from TD Ameritrade. The fix is simple so read on. After uninstalling and reinstalling all things adobe and trying other recommendations on these forums I was stumped. I called my broker tech section since I couldn't open their reports and we identified what my specific problem was. For me, and I imagine some of you this will help and prevent a lot of wasted time.
Nothing was wrong with my Adobe Reader. My problem was that I have a 64 bit operating system and both of my default browsers were 64 bit browsers. I did not know my internet explorer default browser was the 64 bit one until the technician that assisted me informed me that a recent windows update made all 64 bit systems default to 64 bit internet explorer browsers. You cannot change that default by choosing between 64 bit and 32 bit, because you can only choose internet explorer. That explains why my attempts to open with a 32 bit browsers always failed. I also tried with Firefox thinking it was 32 bit and it failed as well. The technician informed me Firefox is a 64 bit browser and then it made sense. I guess the recent Adobe reader update caused a change that no longer allowed my 64 bit system and 64 bit browser to open PDF's through the browser. The technician who assisted me has a 64 bit system and only uses 64 bit browsers and can still open PDF's through those browsers. That confused us for a while until we realized he had his Adobe updater turned off and therefore had not been exposed yet to the update that originated my problems.
****ANSWER FOR MY PROBLEM*******The quick answer is use Google Chrome or some other 32 bit browser. If you set a 32 bit browser as your default, the PDF's will open. You cannot set Internet Explorer 32 bit browser as your default if you have a 64 bit system and also have 64 bit Internet Explorer. The windows update prevents you from doing it. At least that is my understanding.
The bottom line is I have the newest Adobe Reader on a 64 bit system and can open any web PDF with Google Chrome set as my default browser, because it is a 32 bit browser. The new Adobe Reader will not open PDF's with a 64 bit browser in Vista. A 64 bit system is fine as long as you use the 32 bit browser to open your PDF's in Vista. I hope this helps some avoid some headaches. I wish it had been posted when my problem first arose.
I think you can use a 64 bit browser in Windows 9 or later, but for Vista the above applies.

Yes I can create a short cut to internet exp. 32 bit on my desktop and I can even be using Internet expl. 32 bit, but when I try to open a PDF with adobe reader it won't work with internet exp. as my default browser b/c windows will always choose Internet exp. 64 bit which isn't supported yet by adobe reader. With google chrome as my default browser windows can't choose an unsupported 64 bit browser in its place b/c google chrome doesn't have a 64 bit version.
My post was for those people who may not have realized yet that windows would not ever choose Internet expl. 32 bit over Internet expl. 64 bit if both exist on their system. For them it is easiest to just choose a default browser that only has a 32 bit version.
If I understood your reply correctly, you were telling me how to create a shortcut to Internet exp. 32 bit on my desk top. However, having that shortcut on my desk top and opening my browser through it will not prevent the problem of windows choosing my Internet exp. 64 bit browser for pdf's I try to open from the web. Thank you for your response, but I think the problem that I have tried to explain does exist for many users and can only be fixed by using a 32 bit browser that is not Internet explorer as your default browser. At some point if windows fixes the update that always chooses Internet expl. 64 bit over Internet expl. 32 bit, then this will all be irrelevant.

Adobe Reader 10 not working with Mac OS 10.6.7 browser

After upgrading to Mac OS 10.6.7, Adobe Reader 10 will not download a pdf file properly from either Safari or Firefox. In either browser, the resulting page is totally blank. Downloading older versions of Adobe Reader has not resolved the issue. Outside of any connection with a browser, Adobe Reader 10 works flawlessly as a free standing program. Would be grateful for any assistance.

For everyone having the problem:
Highlight one of your .pdf documents. Hit Command + I on the keyboard for the "get info" window to open up.
Check to see what the "Open with" shows. If it is not Preview, choose Preview. You may have to click on the little lock in the bottom right corner first to unlock it and enter your admin password. When done, click the little lock to close it. Close the window. Restart computer. Try a .pdf now to see if it works.

Can I make an internet browser automatically download Adobe Reader if not already installed

Hi,
Basically I have an embedded PDF file in my HTML page, if Adobe Reader is not installed I want the browser to prompt the user to download Adobe Reader to view the PDF. Is this possible?
Cheers in advance
Matt

Many have tried, with the result that their web pages frequently get
it wrong and deny access to PDFs.
Not to mention people who don't use Adobe Reader to read PDFs, or who
download for later use.
Best to just clearly explain you have a PDF, and link to Adobe to
download Reader if required.

Adobe Reader could not open 'A9R7D1F.tmp'

Greetings~
I have seen others with this issue, but none of their solutions have been able to fix my problem.
When attempting to open a PDF document from a web site, I receive the following error:
"Adobe Reader could not open 'A9R7D1F.tmp' because it is either not a supported file type of because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
This is limited to a specific set of computers. Others within the organization function appropriately. As such, it is not a web server or network problem. Here are the specifics of the offending machine(s): Windows 7, Internet Explorer 8, Adobe Reader 9.3.2. Note that other machines with this same specs function appropriately. I have confirmed there are no differing group policies and all are within the same subnet.
Here is what I have tried. After each item, the browser was closed and/or system rebooted. Everyone of these tests resulted with the same error.
Deleted all history in IE (cookies, temporary files, history, etc.).
Uninstalll Reader, reboot, re-install Reader, reboot.
Saved the PDF to the local desktop and tried to open that way.
Installed an older version of Reader.
Ensured the following Reader settings are selected: Display PDF in Browser, Allow Fast Web View, Allow Speculative Downloading in the background (which match machines that are successful).
Ensure IE browser settings are configured to "Automatically" check for newer versions of stored pages.
Ensure PDF document is smaller than allowable disk space limit within IE.
Can anyone help me with this? I am out of ideas!
Thank you.

If you are generating files with anything before %PDF, these files are faulty. It's never been allowed, but Reader used to tolerate it for compatibility with an obscure Mac format.

Adobe Reader does not recognize file name (filename10.5.11.pdf) but does in Adobe Standard 9. Why?

I post documents to our Intranet site and found out recently that Adobe Reader does not recognize certain file names in PDF files. For instance, when trying to open a PDF file with the name
filename10.5.11.pdf in Adobe Reader, the web browser will not open the PDF and the display is blank.   When I'm using another computer with Adobe Standard 9, I do not have a problem opening the file.
I would like to know if anyone else has had a similar issue and why Reader will not recognize the file name and Standard does.

The version is Adobe Reader 10.1.0    I will request the latest version
and let you know if that fixes the problem
Actually I had changed the name of the file so our associates could access
the file (changed the . to a hyphen) It still made me wonder why Reader
wouldn't open it at that time.
Thanks again for you assistance and I will let you know if this resolves
the issue.
Regards,
Susan

Hi Susan,
Thanks for providing the information.
Could you also let me know what is the exact version of Adobe Reader on
your system. You can check the same y clicking on Help > About Adobe
Reader X.
In case its not 10.1.1, please try updating to the latest version and see
if the problem persists.
Also, does any other PDF with a different filename open in Internet
Explorer correctly?
Thanks
Ankit

I just bought and downloaded an embroidery file but Adobe Reader will not open it. What can I do?

I just bought and downloaded an embroidery file but Adobe Reader will not open it. What can I do?

Is it actually a PDF file or something else.
You haven't given us enough information to do anything other than throw random guesses your way.
Version of Reader? File type? Downloaded and saved to your desktop or are you clicking a link?
Opening in browser or using File>Open in Reader?
More info is better.

Using Maverick, error message: Adobe Reader could not open '***.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

Receiving error message using current Maverick version: "Adobe Reader could not open '***.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).". Is fix the same as on previous OS versions?

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Adobe Reader could not open 'cpd39346.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

I use a Macbook Pro w/ OS X. I am unable to open a .pdf file downloaded from the internet, Adobe always shows "@Adobe Reader could not open 'cpd39346.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

Are you trying to open a pdf within a browser (clicking a link)? If so, which browser?

Updated, changed, adjusted, etc. pages using Adobe reader are not opening?

Information and/or Pages were not opening.
Tried to go through all steps of updating
Ended up with plugins, add-ons, all updated and inadvertently got Firefox 4 instead of 3.6
Things are not better
Believe it is Adobe Reader pages not opening
The pages are opening in Explorer
Have been wasting lots of time working on this for days
Also, Browser activity seems to be happening slower since these changes (like there are two systems fighting)

I checked for newer driver and the result is in attachment. I have a doubt my system has NVIDIA GeForce GT520MX already there. If I download GeForce 314.07 driver will it harm my system ? Pls.revert.

?? I cannot open PDF files ?? Adobe Reader 8, Windows Vista, Firefox Browser ?? help ??

?? I cannot open PDF files ?? Adobe Reader 8, Windows Vista, Firefox Browser ?? help ??

Why the question marks? Can you open PDF files or not? You don't need Firefox to open PDF files.
